It's no secret by now that blog friends can be flippin' awesome and coach
us through exercise routines, baking, and provide a sense of sanity in a
crazy world. My East Coast sister Mari coached me through what to make
for dinner and when I got home from the gym, my mind was made up- Papa
Namaste's Pasta!
I have to back up here and say that I am incapable of following a
recipe. It's my equivalent of running a marathon. Just ask my husband about the green cookies I once made. This
pasta sauce and lack of pasta had a few mansana tweaks to it and it was
good. Oh- and the pasta went missing because it was getting late and my
post workout hunger could not wait!
I blended one cup of spinach with 1 tsp of sundried tomatoes, fresh
basil, pepper, some water to thin, and a drizzle of spicy peanut sauce I
had leftover. I swear it worked- I had the Thai version of the sauce.
Meanwhile, I sauteed some zucchini 'pasta' with mushrooms and eggplant
and dinner was served in under 5 minutes! Thanks again Mari for the
recipe!
I kept my dinner theme Namaste style by beefing up dessert (can you
still say beefing of you don't eat beef??) with some plain yogurt, hemp
protein, frozen pomegranate seeds, and carob chips. It was good and
killed the chocolate monster! I don't know where that picture went, so imagine an ice cream sundae.
That's all I've got! Time for a crazy thursday with work and school till
10!
